I just realized you've been using FMTS for flexor mass tendon surgery. Sorry, I'm getting myself all confused. A lot of people use TJS to mean any arm ligament, even though yes we should just be using it for the UCL.

And yes I started abbreviating the Flexor Mass Tendon Surgery as FMTS because I got tired of typing it.

I also want to thank you because like those other people you mention, I didn't realize there was such a thing until I started Googling based on your posts and obviously TJS is much better. Of course that could change once the surgeon gets in there, but we won't know until later this week. I did see the reports you are mentioning earlier, but did not know it meant a potentially much bigger problem.

Yeah...when the original report came out I was mostly worried because I thought it was going to end Rodon's career. If the adema was caused elsewhere and just pooling at the flexor mass, that's a bit of a break. Not that having the UCL replaced is great...but there's a viable recovery route.

I already thought Nate Jones was pretty done. Having that injury pretty much seals it.

Rodon will not be back with the team before free agency. His White Sox career is essentially over.

He’s arbitration eligible through the 2021 season.

So are you saying that his recovery will take more than 2.5 seasons?

Or are you saying the Sox will not offer him arbitration for 2021 (or even for 2020)?
